Cascades Redevelopment

Positioned adjacent to Cascades Park in downtown Tallahassee, the Cascades Redevelopment represents one of the most significant private mixed-use developments in the area in decades. Fitzgerald Gray Hagan Architects served as part of the design team for the project, supporting master planning, community engagement, and design efforts alongside North American Properties. Spanning two city blocks, the development includes market-rate apartments, Class A office space, retail and restaurant uses, an AC Marriott hotel, a public plaza, and a historic memorial recognizing significant local history. Phase Two is planned to further expand the district with additional mixed-use buildings.

The project is centered around principles of placemaking, connectivity, and civic integration. Fitzgerald Gray Hagan Architects led community engagement efforts for the Historic Plaza and Civil Rights Memorial while also contributing master planning and design support for the residential components. The completed phase establishes a vibrant urban district that strengthens the connection between downtown Tallahassee and Cascades Park while creating new opportunities for public gathering, economic growth, and long-term community engagement.
